Is it worth starting a seperate thread for each match for us to post on?

If so I'll start with SA look like rabbits in the headligths at the moment.

If not, load the torpedos...

    Might be best to make this the official WC thread for all games? Save people having to start seperate ones for each game. Just an idea?
  • Game settled down a bit - currently conrer to Mex
  • Jeez, wasted free kick from SA dive. Got to make the most of thier opportunites.

    Mex wasted freekick:

    Think this new "lighter" ball is going to bugger-up a few freekicks....
  • African keeper in great save shock.

    Lucky to be still in this one.
  • Very tidy team Mexico, easy on the eye. Although Safrica are pretty poor.

    Goal disallowed for offside. Good call from the lino. SA keeper got out leaving only one on the line.
  • Ok as i understand it from that offside rule...the attacker has to be level with one defender AND the goalkeeper.

    Why dont the keepers then walk to the edge of the box at each corner then and just leave one defender on the line as surely then any attacker in the box would then be offside?

    Two players, generally one of them is the keeper.

    Not if the ball is being played backwards surely? From the corner taker on the line to who ever is between him and the keeper?

    Had Vela 1st scorer as well!
  • Good pressure from SA at moment. Mex keeper looks v.dodgy
  • In that case why when the oppo have a corner dont all the other ten defenders go into opponents half meaning that any attacker receiving the ball would be offside.

    Am i being thick?

    It came off a Mexican player and went forward.

    Because it's only if a ball is played forward.

    If the keeper/defending team were to do the above, you'd place the ball on the goal line of the corner quadrant and play it into the box but "backwards", away from goal line.

    If that makes sense...

    That's the point i suppose in answer to my question. The ball is always played back from a corner.

    Because the ball is being passed "Backwards".
